Upgrading HULL Hydrocode for Spherical Airblast Calculations

Abstract

The Spherical Air Puff (SAP) hydrocode was added to the HULL system at the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) to enhance the capabilities of hydrodynamic calculations. The program is intended to achieve faster execution time and better accuracy in certain hydrodynamic problems. SAP will furnish starting values in HULL hydrodynamic calculations, as well as being an independent capability. The enhanced capability must be tested with different physical problems. Air blast, HULL, Hydrodynamic calculations, SAP, Spherical.
